How to Opt-In to 1099 Service
Opting into service is as simple as sitting on your couch to relax after a long day's work - because that's all you have to do!
Ceterus automatically will opt you into 1099 Service as long as you do not checkmark anything on the Legal Business Manager screen in 1099 Manager. If you leave these business entities unchecked, we will assume to continue 1099 service for those entities.
How to Opt-Out of 1099 Service
Opting out of 1099 service is a little different. You must inform Ceterus if you decide you do not want us to file and manage your 1099 services for any legal business entities you have with us.
